I loved this one from Well-Heeled. It’s stuff she wouldn’t buy. Nor should you.
Story that breaks my heart and is totally an awesome reason for getting out of debt.
This one is older, but I didn’t see it till this week. Flexo is guest posting at Get Rich Slowly. Break out of your Comfort Zone and try something different in all aspects of your life. It’s advice I totally agree with.
I am not sure how I feel about this article that BostonGal posted. It’s a guy who got a loan modification but still wants to walk away. I am not morally opposed to a strategic default. But I think for most people, they can ride out the bad market and still have a home to live in. For myself, I can afford to ride out the market in my condo with a renter who covers all of the mortgage for me. (Just not the HOA fee.) I thought about a strategic default, but it’s not worth it for me. But if you’re holding onto a house worth $125K that you bought for $350K, then yeah, I could see why you’d still walk away.
Finally, a very interesting post about giving birth at home from a new blog called Sustainable Family Finances. I was born at home in the US and I know a few folks who’ve done that too. (Admittedly, they’re more hippie-types, but one of the births was also a 2nd child like me, after the mom decided there wasn’t much risk requiring a hospital.)
